The Albee Agency

customizes every writer’s publicity and marketing campaign and that makes a big difference in creating a meaningful and productive book publicity campaign. With more than 20 years of experience Mike Albee and his team of book publishers have a database of more than 30,000 journalists and media outlets. This lets them search for specific and relevant opportunities for their authors…rather than the “blasting” approach which so many book publicity firms use nowadays.

Is self- publishing right for me? The publicists at the Albee Agency are asked this question by hundreds of writers every month. It is so understandable. So we have come up with our own little questionnaire to help the writer to think about some of the aspects of self-publishing that hopefully will stimulate some thoughts and ideas…A reality check…so to speak.
